Is this T14 Gen 2 deal worth it? VS a T14 Gen 3?
I'm considering buying a used Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 with the following specs:
- Processor: Intel Core i5-1135G7 (11th Gen)
- RAM: 16GB
- Storage: 500GB SSD
- Battery health: 77% (33 charge cycles)
- Price: $350 CAD
Does this seem like a good deal?
My main concern is the battery health, although the price seems reasonable. I'm also considering a ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 for $550 CAD and wondering whether it's worth spending the extra $200.
For context, I already have a good desktop PC, so this laptop would mainly be for basic web browsing, watching videos, and some light programming when I'm visiting my parents.
I don't need anything particularly powerful, but I do want something that feels fast and responsive without noticeable lag.
Would you go with the Gen 2 at $350 or spend the extra $200 for the Gen 3? For what it's worth, the Gen 3 is is AMD Ryzen 5, 16GB Ram, 256GB SSD.

how large are the keys on a T470
i'm trying to design some stickers for the keys on my keyboard, but i'm not sure how large they are. i tried measuring them myself, but the only measuring tape i had in the house was so worn out i couldn't read the numbers. i also tried looking it up, but all of them are about the distance between the keys

Refurbished advice!
Hi all, after getting advice about laptops to get here in the UK, the general consensus is that a refurbished thinkpad is the way to go!
Asus V16 was also mentioned, but tbh I don’t even know where to start!
I just want a decent, reliable laptop that will last. It’s for my teen to use, so needs to be tough/sturdy, able to run some games off steam, fit to watch movies on/streaming video etc, and possibly even to link to the PS5 to use as a second screen etc.
Bonus points if it will be good for school work!
Can someone, anyone, explain what I need to be looking for in particular, and ideally where to find!
Complete noob with this kind of stuff so treat me like an idiot and explain what I need to look for!
Don’t want to spend a fortune, but also don’t want to cheap out either!
Budget is flexible but if there was something decent either side of £500-600, then that would be a bonus, though happy to stretch if there is a genuinely decent deal and it’s going to be worthwhile!
Also open to any other suggestions, but please be specific and ideally link me to where to find them! Sorry if I seem so useless, I just wanna do right by my kid!
Thanks in advance!

Cooling solution for P14s i7-1165G7 / T500
Hello all,
actually Im using my P14s with the Toshiba cooling package. Last year I had an issue with the original fan and replaced it with one from another ThinkPad I got alrady at home (this one). Now my first question: Is this fan similar to the original fan from the Toshiba cooling package or is it less powerful? I know my fan swap is not a long term option because the holes for the screws didnt fit really and yes.. at least it works right now but tbh Im not very happy with the cooling-power of the P14s at all. During 100% system load the core clock goes down to 3.4-3.5Ghz. When I also use the T500 gpu (which is between the cpu/igpu and the fan) nearly to 100% load the whole cooling system collapses and the core clock of the cpu will go down to about 1Ghz. So wtf..
Then I first checked every driver, bios version and really everything. During that I also installed the TPFanControl and I guess its a little bit better than before. I also checked every energy saving option at Win11, the bios settings and also the whole system with Lenovo Diagnostics Evolution- everything is fine. At the end I changed the thermal paste (MX-4).
Long story short I am at the point, that I am really sure the only possibility to improve the cooling power is to get a better/more powerful fan (because as I said its also not the original and I dont know if this one is less powerful). Also when the installed fan is similar to the original one, maybe there is one of the other 2 cooling packages from AVC and Delta more powerful? I also saw in this thread that the Toshiba cooling package is maybe the weakest because of their bad processing (like no screws for the fan)?
Please maybe someone knows how I can fix my cooling/heat-issue and also can tell me the facts about the different cooling packages and the fan I actually got in my system. Maybe there is an upraged version I didnt mind or something else.
Special Thanks!

IBM thinkpad r31
Will most likely be picking one up in a week or so but I just curious what people think. It’ll be a addition to couple other thinkpads I have in my collection which are a r61 and I-series

Why so much more love for the T4XX series and not the T5XX
All my ThinkPads are the 15-inch variant that I tend to look for, other than my older T61's.
Its to the point I had to do a google search to make sure the t480 isnt better in some way that I didnt know than my t580.
Im sure they are more portable, but any other reason?

Should I install Linux on my X1 Carbon 7th Gen or T430?
Not sure what distro I will be picking, probably Fedora but my main use case is setting up Hyprland for the first time and making this a laptop I will actively use outside of my main computer.
